first strike while using pgsharp
I didn't go online for a day and i always respect cooldown time but today i receive my first strike on my account, is the first strike given randomly to players?

most likely they're catching onto spoofers now sadly.
Stop spoofing
They are definitely doing a ban wave on PG Sharp currently..I know of ppl who played for a year on PGS and now have several accounts flagged over last couple of days
Either stop spoofing or keep it SUPER light
I was only spoofing to go to local parks but I've stopped that for now, well, mostly
I'm being way more cautious now cause there might be more checks now
But in order to figure out what those checks are, we need to know exactly how people are spoofing, if they have Campfire installed, if they're teleporting or autowalking, distances, when/where they go, things like that.
Do you use pgsharp or something else?
PGsharp
I want to make a thread somewhere to gather data on exactly what people are doing and if they are banned or not
Banned sadly....didn't even spoof or teleported for 3 to 4 days but got caught in ban wave...
I don't even spoof for country to country just nearby distance like 2km or max 3km
I think they are checking our poke catch history
Yeah they're definitely scanning catch/spin history. They're probably also checking distance vs time according to real travel times instead of the cooldown. For example, from home to work for me would incur an 18 minute cooldown, but the trip takes about 45 minutes by car! It's already mentioned in the guide on avoiding bans that you should not do things in two countries in one day, which reflects how long it takes to actually travel there.
Now that I think about it, the cooldown system being as lax as it is may have been designed to catch spoofers. The cooldowns are calculated as if you were going about 70mph in a straight line between points so that legit players on freeways don't get banned just for playing while riding with someone on the freeway, but other than being on the freeway in light traffic, travel times never go that low. And when the distance nears or hits the cooldown cap, that's when the discrepancy between the cooldown and real travel time becomes obvious.
Yeah, that's likely it @Smol Floofy Redhead . I just got my first 7 day today after using PGS for months.
I don't know if there is a link, but I just did my first Party link up today while using the app but my actual location.
I'm not all that sure on that, actually. I got a 7 day ban a few days after posting that despite not teleporting and only using the autowalk on the lowest two speeds on routes I'd actually use. I think it just detects the client's presence.
Ugh that's almost worse, somehow.
I hope they can fix that in an update somehow. Otherwise, I'll likely pause paying for the big sub until then :/
